Kitchen makeovers in Stourport-on-Severn: approvals and local details

Which option fits your home?

Splashbacks and upstands

Tiles, toughened glass, acrylic sheet or matching worktop upstands protect the wall behind the sink and hob. Glass behind a hob must be heat-rated and fitted with the clearances the hob manufacturer specifies. A new splashback is often the cheapest way to make a dated kitchen look current.

Replacement doors and drawer fronts

New doors in shaker, slab, gloss or wood-effect finishes, made to fit your existing carcasses. Most fitted kitchens use standard unit sizes, so replacement doors are easy to source; older or unusual kitchens may need made-to-measure doors. New end panels, plinths and cornice are matched so the finish looks complete rather than patched.

Kitchen makeovers in Stourport-on-Severn: common questions

How do I know if my units are good enough to keep?

Open the cupboard under the sink and the one beside the dishwasher. If the chipboard is swollen, crumbly or stained, those units may need replacing. Check that cabinets are level, backs are intact and hinges hold their screws. We check every cabinet at the survey and will tell you straight if a makeover isn't the right answer.

What guarantees do replacement doors and worktops have?

Doors, worktops, sinks, taps and hinges carry their own manufacturers' guarantees, and the terms for each product are set out in your quote. Some worktop guarantees depend on correct sealing and care, so we'll tell you what the manufacturer asks for. If anything we fitted isn't right afterwards, call us and we'll come back to look at it.

Who approves kitchen makeovers in Stourport-on-Severn?
